I cannot figure out how to do away with formatting. Sometimes I want the number formatting to work sometimes I do not. This is about as basic as you can get - how do I fix this? The whole program is useless if I cannot go all the way to the left! Edit Undo does not get me all the way to the left. Please help! Again, the whole program is pretty useless if you cannot stick the cursor where I want it to go - not where the computer tells me I have to put it!!!!!!!

Apache OpenOffice contain a number of components - a spreadsheet, word processor, presentation tool and others.

Without knowing which component you are using, and exactly what you are doing when you are encountering the problem, we can only guess. Please provide specific details of the component you are using and exactly what you are doing.

If you are talking about the spreadsheet application, Calc, , you may find the following to be useful resources.

Please explain which program you're using, what type of numbering you want to "fix" and exactly what "Sometimes I want the number formatting to work and sometimes I do not" means.

I interpret this to mean that you want to remove some formatting in a particular document. If you mean that you want to turn off all automatic formatting in Writer for all future documents, then uncheck the "While Typing" option under Format > AutoCorrect.
